Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

According to a Flemish folktale, the murderer of a woman was doomed to appear as a ghost dog after he died. It's said his eyes looked like lanterns. The dog jumped on people and forced them to carry him to the place where he had committed the crime. 🎨Dillon Samuelson #PhantomsFriday

McCormick: "We were horrible in Vietnam until we did Rolling Thunder Two, then we won. As soon as we do half-measures, we lose. The faster we get this over the better. If we seize Kharg island, it could be done almost flawlessly. If we have enough firepower, it would be very easy to defend."

Today we placed two more mobile bomb shelters in Bedouin-Palestinian villages in the Negev, marking the 7th and 8th shelters we’ve installed in just the past few weeks. (1/3)

Mitzrayim is the Hebrew name for 'Egypt', and its -ayim ending curiously appears to be that of the dual grammatical number, for two things. I remain delighted by the explanation that it is originally dual, referring to the two ancient regions of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Savitribai Phule, widely regarded as the first female teacher in India, pioneered women's #education by opening the country's first school for girls in Pune (w/her husband) in 1848. She overcame severe social opposition to educate girls & the marginalized. She died #OTD in 1897. #WomensHistoryMonth

It’s good to know that there are others who share my view and vision

We all deserve freedom from oppressive regimes, from tyranny, from bombardment, and from the hopeless vision our leaders present. We all deserve life. (4/4)

Gaz is Persian nougat that originates from Isfahan, Iran. Iranians often enjoy it with tea. This man is infusing it with saffron and then adding in pistachios. Up until 2019, Iran ranked #1 in pistachio production worldwide. It's still one of the top producers in the world!

Fascinating to imagine free roaming deer

In Nara, deer have been considered sacred messengers of Takemikazuchi, the deity from the Kasuga Taisha Shrine. After WWII, the deer were redesignated as a national monuments protecting the free roaming deer. 🗾 🦌
